What are some well - known crimes based on true story?

One well - known capital crimes novel is 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote. It's a non - fictional novel that delves deep into a real - life murder case. Another is 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris, which features the infamous Hannibal Lecter. 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn also involves elements of crime that could be considered in the realm of capital crimes as it has a complex plot with a missing person case that has many dark twists.

Jeffrey Dahmer is also a notorious one. He committed heinous crimes, including murder and necrophilia. His case was shocking as it involved extreme acts of violence and abnormal behavior towards his victims.

One example could be 'The Killing' (the American TV series). It was inspired by a true - crime story. The show delved into the investigation of a young girl's murder. It explored the complex web of police work, the impact on the victim's family, and the seedy underbelly of the city where the crime took place.

One example is 'Schindler's List'. It is based on the true story of Oskar Schindler, who saved many Jews during the Holocaust. Another is 'The Imitation Game', which is about Alan Turing's work cracking the Enigma code during World War II. And '127 Hours' is based on the real - life experience of Aron Ralston who was trapped in a canyon.

One is 'Schindler's List'. The trailer gives glimpses into the true and harrowing story of Oskar Schindler saving Jews during the Holocaust. Another is 'The Imitation Game', which is about Alan Turing. The trailer shows how his real - life story of cracking the Enigma code was going to be presented in the movie.

One example could be 'The Crown' which is based on the true story of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It shows different aspects of her life, the political situations during her reign, and the relationships within the royal family.

One example could be 'The Amityville Horror'. It was based on the supposed real - life experiences of the Lutz family in a haunted house. The movie used the idea of the family's terrifying encounters to create a horror story that made audiences scream.

One well - known example could be the case of the Bell Witch in Tennessee, USA. It was said to be a spirit that haunted the Bell family. There were numerous strange occurrences like physical attacks, voices, and objects moving on their own. Some consider this a type of revenant story as it involves a malevolent spirit that seems to have a connection to the property or the family, and there are historical records and accounts from the time that suggest it was a real - life event, although it has also been subject to much speculation and interpretation over the years.

One of the famous ones is 'American Horror Story: Asylum'. It was inspired by real - life events in some asylums, like the inhumane treatments that took place. Another is 'The Haunting of Hill House'. It has elements based on Shirley Jackson's experiences and the spooky history of certain houses.
